Roads often (cross) the routes that (take) by animals when they are migrating, breeding or feeding. Every spring, many thousands of toads (kill) as they (make) their way to the traditional breeding ponds. All over the world, animals are victims of the road and their dead remains can (often/see) lying on the roadside. Many badgers and hedgehogs (hit) by cars at night as they (move around) in search of food. Rabbits sometimes seem to (hypnotize) by the headlights of cars and (not/move) quickly out of the way. Birds (sometimes/hit) too as they (fly) low over roads. (Can/anything/do) to protect these animals from the dangers of the road?
